They are beaten
You'd feel danger there

[Repeats throughout song]

Through the edged are beaten
You'd feel danger there

How heavy you are on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
How heavy you are on this faded hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
[Repeat: x2]

Bleed in your fate's ground through the edge
It's so bloody and blunt of big crystal eyes
How heavy you are; it's fading your hatch
Tinderbox of a heart left a shell is all
[Repeat: x2]
